Comparisons Featuring BQ Aquaris U2 Lite
Short Review
- The BQ Aquaris U2 Lite features a compact design with dimensions of 148.1 x 72.9 x 8.4 mm and a weight of 155g, available in black and white.
- Its 5.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 282 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset with a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera has an 8 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves well for selfies.
- The 3100 mAh battery supports 18W charging but does not offer wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 7.1.2, it can be upgraded to Android 8.0, providing a relatively modern software experience.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and microUSB 2.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The absence of stereo speakers is notable, but it retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the BQ Aquaris U2 Lite is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
